3rd Annual Shofar in the Park

3rd Annual Shofar in the Park

NOTE: The event date has been changed to Sunday, September 15 

Everything else remains the same.

During the month of Elul, the last month of the Jewish calendar, the shofar is blown every morning at minyan.

In honor of this, Temple Har Zion presents “Shofar in the Park,” a stroll from the temple to Austin Gardens and Scoville Parks, blowing the shofar at each location; at our final stop, we will enjoy ice cream.

Walk with us or meet us at a park. Here is the plan:

  • 3 pm: Gather and blow the shofar on our patio at the synagogue. Walk to Austin Gardens.
  • 3:50 pm: Blow the shofar at Austin Gardens. Walk to Scoville Park.
  • 4:15 pm: Arrive at Scoville Park. Blow the shofar and enjoy being with each other (and an ice cream cone!).

Bring your family and friends. We will walk slowly and enjoy each other’s company along the way. We will sing together and prepare our hearts for this most precious and sacred time of the year.

Maimonides teaches that the Shofar is the blast that wakes us up to spiritual alertness for a sweet and good new year!

Join us! Registration is not required.
